Lead I Channel
Strap yourself down, because here’s where things get intense. The
Lead I channel of the Double Cross offers a breathtaking array of
crushing modern tones that can be sculpted with stunning precision.
The key to unlocking its secrets lies in its Cross, a deceptively simple
but ultimately sophisticated tool that blends additional 12AX7 tube
stages, letting players actually modify the Gain, EQ and attack pa-
rameters of their amplifier. Master the Cross and you will master a
firestorm of tonal power. (For more information, see the “Cross” sec-
tion of this manual.)
1) PRESENCE This controls the upper treble frequencies and can be
used to accentuate “percussive” tones such as your picking attack.
Alternately, by lowering this control, it can help soften biting tones
when desired.
2) TREBLE This passive EQ adjusts the high frequency equalization of
the amplifier, but also interacts with the Bass and Middle controls as
follows: As the Treble is increased, the Bass automatically decreases
and the Middle slides down in frequency. Conversely, if the Treble is
decreased, the Bass automatically increases and the Middle slides up
in frequency.
3) MIDDLE This passive EQ adjusts the midrange equalization of the
amplifier. It interacts with the Bass and Treble as described in the
Treble EQ section. For a heavier, more distorted sound, set the Mid-
dle lower. For more of a vintage-style, cleaner sound, set the Middle
higher.
4) BASS This passive EQ adjusts the low frequency equalization of
the amplifier. It interacts with the Middle and Treble as described in
the Treble EQ section. For a tighter low end, use the Bass EQ set in
its lower range. This is particularly helpful when using the amp at very
loud settings.
5) LEAD I INDICATOR The word LEAD I lights up when the Lead I
channel is active.
